Bob there is another way. It seems you are loading through a laptop, so little bother setting up a Dropbox account for iPad, to also be accessed from the laptop. If you have an iPhone or I guess a google powered device, you can load to the same way.

I take photos with my iPhone, and next time I access Dropbox, they load to my account, they are then also available on the laptop and desktop account. I use Dropbox to carry board papers with me or access my "cloud" accessible data. A 2gb account is free, but because I have the access to drop in photos, they have upgraded my account by 25%
